Who shops for a funeral before the event? Gillotts we’re excellent from start to finish, supporting myself and my daughter for the arrangements for my husband I cannot fault any of the team at Stapleford branch they were all excellent and went above and beyond to make sure everything went according to plan and lightening the load were they could. I cannot recommend them highly enough. As I said no one knows where to start when faced with a bereavement wether it’s expected or not, and therefore no one recommends a funeral director- let me be the first!

The Stapleford funeral home was the first branch funeral home of Eastwood and District Funeral Directors - the former name of Gillotts’ Eastwood office, and was opened in 1986.

The Stapleford funeral home is served by Funeral Arrangers Hazel and Jodie, and Funeral Director Alan Winfield, who will care for both you and your loved one before, during, and after the funeral.

    There are just no words to express what a wonderful service you all provided.My heart will be broken forever, but between you all I heap a magnitude of praise. You provide the same level of professionalism at my father’s funeral 11years ago, and I was more than impressed this time at my mothers.My thanks to all involved.
    God bless you and keep safe.regards Janice Young re Glenys Tabberner

    Very professional and helpful 

  • 5 Claire Matthews 25th Jun 2021

    It’s never easy to arrange the funeral of a loved family member, even harder when an unexpected suicide happens. Having experiences of other loved family passing and their funerals being arranged by the same directors I knew Gillotts would provide compassion, empathy and professionalism. With there personal service at a difficult time and during lockdown it was a relief to see familiar faces and new ones pulling together for an A1 service. Before during and after, I don’t think I could of coped without you all by my side. Many thanks to Diane Lightowler, Alan, Jody and all of your team. I would not hesitate to recommend your services. Thanks again.
